OVERVIEW

Ms. Nash-Hoff’s presentation will cover what is a true understanding of the “Total Cost of Ownership” (TCO) concept and discuss how to establish a secure supply chain and what can be done to mitigate disruptions as conditions change due to unexpected crises such as COVID-19, natural disasters, and transportation bottlenecks. Case studies of companies that have successfully returned manufacturing to the U.S. using a Total Cost of Ownership Analysis will be presented.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND

Moving manufacturing offshore led to the loss of 5.8 million manufacturing jobs and the loss of 60,000 companies since the year 2000. As a result, the U.S. lost the ability to manufacture all the products needed to protect the health and welfare of Americans and protect our national security. What was the impact on the American economy?

In this webinar, Michele Nash-Hoff will provide information on how and why companies should conduct a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis to make the decision of whether or not they can return your manufacturing to America. Attendees will learn to understand the hidden costs and risks of manufacturing offshore and the advantages of manufacturing in the U.S.
